Power requirements for this state-of-the-art transportation hub are immense. To ensure safe, continuous operation, the Shanghai Airport Authority uses an ABB MicroSCADA system paired with SmartSights WIN-911 alarm monitoring software to watch over its East zone network of power transmission and distribution systems.
Like all large airports, energy stability is paramount. But the sheer scale and complexity of Hongqiao Airport—with over 1,000 different alarms monitored—adds significant operational risks that need to be deftly managed. That makes early response to alerts crucial, so that problems don’t turn into crises.

To ensure fast response to issues, WIN-911 sends SMS texts as well as voice call notifications directly to on duty staff as well as management when an event occurs. Escalation paths provide redundancy and added protection. The system monitors ABB switchgear and feeder and control relays for overcurrent, quick break, ground, and trip alarms at various substations.
“WIN-911’s reputation for providing reliable early notice is a key component of achieving Hongqiao Airport’s safety and efficiency goals,” said Mr. Zhai, project engineer, whose company Shanghai Yixun Automation Technology, led the installation and integration effort.
“WIN-911’s user interface is quite easy to understand and helped us a lot in on-site commissioning jobs. Even if you didn’t know WIN-911 software, you will not need a long time to master it.”
